Thanks so much for your information. I spent almost $2000.00 just 18 months ago for a poorly made clunker. My husband has NPH relies on a recliner for safety and comfort. It was purchased from a dealer who sang praises about warranty, quality and service.....all of which became a total nightmare. Within 3 months the hand control stopped working and we were told it would be 8 weeks to get another. There is no manual backup to operate the chair resulting in my having to call EMS to get him out of the chair. Within 4 months the padding on the left arm rest wore down so badly that sitting in the chair was painful. It was like leaning on the edge of a piece of lumber.....I mean no padding or even batting on the frame....just lumber with a piece of fabric over it. I warranty people refused to respond, telling me it was the manufacturer’s problem not theirs.I called the dealer who told me he would get it fixed. They sent a repairman to the house who replaced a piece and showed me how the thing was poorly made and designed. He said it would breakdown again and he was right. The owner of the chair dealership was nasty to the point of even insulting me with political comments....was that nuts! He didn’t even have any idea about my personal political leanings and I honestly don’t know why politics was an issue in buying a piece of furniture. All I wanted was to get the chair fixed . It was a horrible nightmare. Avoid Pride products and dealers! I now have a pillow strapped on the left side until I find another chair. Iam going to swallow the loss and have a bonfire in my backyard! Sometime ago I had a La-Z-Boy for over 15 years and it is still being used by a friend. I’m going back to La-Z-Boy . Warranty scams and so called American manufactures are capable of being crooked liars!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience! I have been putting off buying a recliner for years because it is an expensive item of furniture and I never felt like I was confident in finding the right one and having buyer's remorse. I've been to various showrooms and just randomly sat in chairs without properly having a way to evaluate other than general "this feels good". Which almost all of them do. Knowing how to properly check various aspects of a recliner as you mentioned has definitely helped me feel more confident as I continue my shopping journey!

I also watch for a chair that has fabric between the seat and the foot rest. The open area above the foot rest can cause injuries when you have young children.

@Red Apple - You're welcome. As far as left-handed units are concerned, I don't recall ever seeing one on a showroom floor. But you can always ask if the chair can be converted to left-hand use. Be sure to ask if there is an extra charge for the conversion and keep in mind that, depending on how the chair is opened, the conversion may result in a hole being left in the outside arm panel on the opposite side.

Many sales people do not understand that Big and Tall presents other concerns. Can you recommend a top brand list of companies that have a line of products for guys like me AND hit the requirements on your video? Especially the shipping to parts directly. Did this with my office chair awhile ago and it was a wonderful experience to have a company (LifeForm) warranty out a seat pan with a brand new one for an issue after 6 years and for $20 shipping. This office chair is going on 8 years old. If only they made recliners huh? Thanks again.

Like ones that I could sink into, but with current weight, don't think it'd last long, shape wise. Also would have to stay away from hot materials, ie. leather, faux, suede etc.. live in a very hot climate and I produce a ton of body heat. Don't wanna get stuck to the material nor ruin it.

Seines -- The angle of the seat is a personal preference factor that I did not cover in the video. And whether an angled seat is actually lower in the back than a standard seat, is a good question. If it is, it could make getting out of these chairs more difficult for some people. I'd try them both out to see which works better for you.

@reclinerrepairguy41554 жыл бұрын
@Nancy Duffer - It's not unusual for motion furniture to develop noises as it ages. In fact, as Rocker/Recliners age, it's highly unusual when they don't make any noise. Having said that, the thing to do when you hear a new noise -- particularly a loud one -- is to make sure it's not being caused by a mechanical problem. I.E. - parts that are bent, broken, binding, rubbing, loose, etc. Many Rocker/Recliner models allow a bit of sideways motion by design. An occasional '"ping" type sound may be heard when the springs pull the Rocker Base back into alignment. That's normal and does not necessarily indicate a problem.

The furniture store is recommending the warranty for 3 years. I really don’t want to buy the warranty, if it was a manual reclining sofa, I know I would not purchase the extended warranty. Do you know how much service repair would be for a power recliner when the power no longer works. Thanks
@reclinerrepairguy41553 жыл бұрын
@yogaqueen0830 - You'd have to get repair service quotes from the company that would be doing the repairs. These costs can vary widely. If you're concerned about the electrical parts -- #1) Find out what the manufacturer warranty is on those parts. #2) Read the fine print on the extended warranty to see if it extends the coverage on those parts, and if so, for how long. #3) Research the company that's providing the extended warranty. Are they reputable? Are consumers happy with how their warranty claims were handled?

I just bought my first recliner, I'm 6'4 and most chair's at the store are too small. I ended up buying a lazyboy that is made for 6'3 and up. I've only had it a week but I feel it's just a tad too big. Sometimes I have buyers remorse about the chair. My feet are flat on the ground with shoes on and barefoot the balls of my feet touch the ground. The problem with me is I've spent my whole life with knees up in most sitting situations, so I can't tell if I'm finally sitting right or it's just too big. I wish I knew if i made a mistake or if breaking it in will be better or worse.

Is there a brand you feel is best quality ? I’m short and would prefer 20” or less seat depth and I’m looking for a loveseat that reclines. We bought a La Z Boy Brooks yesterday. But it’s not too late to cancel . Based on your videos, I’m concerned that it may become uncomfortable over time . I really only picked the Brooks cuz we couldn’t afford anything else at that store . And I kept encountering the seat / back gap when I’d recline at other stores with cheaper recliners . La Z Boy didn’t have the gap and the seat depth of Brooks seemed pretty good . But I read that it’s 21” deep . We were in a hurry because they were closing and I need a chair ASAP ! I thought it was in stock there or if not have bought it . We will get it Wednesday if I don’t cancel . My husband loves it . But he doesn’t sit in things long enough to know .

Can a Lazy Boy manual be converted to a left hand activation, like for someone how is right hand impared?
@reclinerrepairguy41554 жыл бұрын
Gary F - Yes, I've heard of this being done, though I've never done the procedure myself. You'll need to order a new Drive Rod (left-hand version) -- the square, solid-steel rod that runs thru the middle of your mechanism & attaches to the Handle. You should also order (replace) any worn or damaged parts you may have along the Drive Rod, including Retaining Spacers, clips, etc. A hole will have to be cut thru the Outside Arm Panel on the left-hand side to accommodate the new handle placement. All parts attached to the Drive Rod will have to be removed & then reattached to the new rod. I recommend using an experienced La-z-boy repair tech for this procedure. Your local La-z-boy dealer should be able to help you with this conversion.

What is the healthiest, low maintenance soft fabric on a recliner?
@reclinerrepairguy41552 жыл бұрын
@Let It Roll - Microfiber used to be the standard, as for as low maintenance is concerned. (I don't know how healthy it is, however.) Since I don't work on new furniture these days, I don't know what fabric(s) would meet that standard today. My guess is that most name brand furniture fabrics would not be very healthy because they are often produced overseas with little or no quality control to maximize profit margin. For "healthy" fabrics, you'll most likely have to seek out companies that specialize in such products. Like companies that produce new carpeting that doesn't leach chemical fumes / odors in your home.

@True Hope - Sorry, I don't know the style# or name of the chair. The recliners used in my videos are often a few years old or older and are not necessarily still available for sale as new models.

After having my sectional sofa for 21 years, I bought new furniture- a sofa & 2 recliners. It was so soft and plush and felt so comfortable at first. But now, I am experiencing back, shoulder and neck pain and I don’t know what to do. This furniture was rather expensive. I wish I’d seen this video before I purchased my new furniture. It does not affect my significant other like it is doing me☹️ Do you have suggestions on inserts or cushions/pillows that would help? Thank you in advance

@Janice McGatlin - If your furniture is less than a year old and is a name brand product, it should still have warranty coverage. Contact the dealer (seller) to report the problem. If the furniture is more than 1 year old, you can still contact the dealer to report the problem. They may service the products they sell. You most likely will have to pay a service call charge to have someone can come out and make an assessment. Once that's done, they can quote you the cost of adding/replacing padding, etc. If they don't do service after the sale, ask them to refer you to someone in your area that can help you.

Is there a way to limit the forward rocking I have to push with my hands when I get up and my the chair rocks so far forward and down it’s difficult to get up. We just bought our 3rd set of recliners the others were all gliders these were supposed to be gliders also. I should have sent them back but thought I could get accustomed to it. I’ve had them for a week not satisfied. Also I still have the old recliners would it be a huge job to swap out the glider mechanization into the new recliners

@russelledsall2984 - La-z-boy Rocker Recliner bases can be swapped out with Swivel Rocker bases. But the gliders have a different mechanism. Let the seller know that you didn't get the correct chair. Otherwise you'll have to "rig it" so it won't dip forward as much when you exit the chair.

I wear out backs like crazy, because I spend a lot of time in my recliner. Specifically the middle and lower part of the back. I sit in it for about 8 hours a day, for my job. How should I fix this problem? Just learn to repair them and keep fixing them? Or is there a brand that has really strong back and lumbars? Any particular model? Thank you!

@Enermax Stephens - I'm not clear on whether you're referring to padding replacement or frame problems. If it's padding, simply use better quality padding that will last longer. You can have an upholsterer install it. If it's frame failure, see my Closer Look video series on frame construction on the ReclinerRepairGuy.com website.

Good information. What is the proper height for arm rests? Thanks
@reclinerrepairguy41553 жыл бұрын
@Manape - There are no specific recommendations for recliner arm rest height that I'm aware of. Since people have different torso & arm lengths, I think it would be difficult to achieve a position that would be ideal for most users. My guess is that manufacturers most likely arbitrarily establish arm rest height as a specific distance from the top of the seat, when designing and building their chairs.

Is there a smaller brand that makes excellent quality recliners? I bought push back RH recliners that are uncomfortable and the backs of both of them are loose. Help!
@reclinerrepairguy4155 Жыл бұрын
@No Hate - If you're looking for excellent quality, then stay away from the mass-produced furniture brands, such as La-z-boy, Lane, Flexsteel, Ashley, etc. There are better-quality furniture makers out there, but the cost will be significantly higher than most people are used to paying for furniture.

Hi! Thanks for such a helpful video! I have a smallish (perfect for me fit, now that I know how to calculate that!) leather Natuzzi recliner I purchased a little over 20 years ago and it's my favorite piece of furniture; in fact lately I've started sleeping in it as it is way more comfy than my bed! It has a cable release, the kind you pull straight out and it's been getting stiffer and more difficult to get to release, until yesterday when no matter what I do it won't release. I didn't want to force it for fear of breaking it, but I have no idea what to do now... the store was across the country and probably not in business any more. Anything can be done? Or similar recommendation? ☺
@reclinerrepairguy41557 ай бұрын
@fionalynnshaw - That's a common problem with cable release setups over time. It can be due to the cable assembly coming to the end of its useful life, or a problem with the mechanism. Or both. If it's just the pull, order one through Natuzzi (or perhaps find one online that matches yours) & install it to see if it will work. (Note how the cable end is attached to the mech before removing the old one. Learn more from this video -----> kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKK0qKCracuSorM) If you're not a DIYer, locate an experienced local recliner repair tech to inspect the chair. Be sure to have the correct replacement pull handle & cable assembly in-hand when they come out (perhaps they can get it for you). The tech can install it & test the chair. With a little luck, you'll be good to go. However, if there's a problem with the mechanism (the new pull won't work), the tech can quote that repair for you as well. Provided those parts are still available, of course.

Turn the chair over expose the cable and mechanism and spray lubricant in with silicone or dry lube.
